About Screaming Females

Screaming Females is a rock band from New Brunswick, NJ. The band comprises Marissa Paternoster on guitar and vocals, Jarrett Dougherty on drums, and “King” Mike Abbate on bass.

Abbate and Paternoster formed a band in high school under the name Surgery On TV. After several lineup changes they finally decided on the trio and a name change to Screaming Females.

After two self-released albums, Baby Teeth (2006) and What If Someone Is Watching Their T.V.? (2007), they signed with local label Don Giovanni Records. They have since released four more albums: Power Move (2009), Castle Talk (2010), Ugly (2012), and Rose Mountain (2015). Their seventh record, titled All At Once, is set for release in 2018.
